    Haven’t had much opportunity to use snap, what’s the problem with them?

      For me, it’s the unrenameable, unmoveable, non-hidden snap directory in my home directory’s root that doesn’t even follow the naming convention of the other directories in there.

        > plus sudden updates that nuke active applications.

        This is not what’s supposed to happen. If an app installed through flatpak is active while it’s receiving an update, then the update is not supposed to affect the running application until it’s closed/restarted.

        Edit: Somehow I didn’t realize the concern was raised against Snap and not Flatpak.
